The North East Italy / Veneto region
This area of Italy must be one of the most versatile in all the country. You are close to the sea, to the mountains to Lake Garda, and still have the benefit of one of the most fascinating cities in the whole world. Two of the most sought after beach resorts are right on your door step; Lido di Jesolo which is only second to Rimini for what it has to offer for the beach lover in the way of quality of bathing facilities and entertainment, hosting year round sporting and other events and then the highly exclusive Venice Lido, famed for its film festival and other sporting events such as equestrian and tennis tournaments. This is the place where Dirk Bogarde starred in the cinema classic 'Death in Venice' at the beautiful Hotel des Bains. Temperatures range from mild in the Spring to hot in the summer. Winter can be unexpectedly cold, but usually offers beautiful bright days for comfortable walking and cultural visits. Please remember to bring comfortable walking shoes whatever time of the year you decide to visit.
Venice / Giudecca area
Choose Giudecca and you will enjoy the quietest city break imaginable - your sleep will only ever be disturbed by a passing boat or wailing cat! But at the same time you will be only a 3 minute boat ride from all the traffic-free bustle and activity you could ever ask for of a city of such vital cultural importance,
The list of events organized in Venice and Giudecca is endless, from the local to the global. Every second year Giudecca hosts several of the Venice Biennale events, and has a couple of permanent exhibition spaces, plus boasting several churches of major historic importance. Hardly a week goes by in Venice when there isn't some international event in the fields of art, politics, music and sport, without mentioning the local festivals and events which are spread throughout the annual calendar. Don't forget that this year is the turn of the International Contemporary Visual Arts' Exhibition, the Biennale.
